Mason. Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) correct me if I'm wrong, but 1972 was when the ADR laws in australia came into play? any car made before that you can pretty much do what ever you like to it. in regards to emissions, noise and fuel consumption labelling haha I'm most likely going to get smashed for this. dad was telling me about it a year or 2 ago. so memory is hazy Edited January 22, 2011 by Mason.

kangaroosa Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Emission standards for replacement engines 1972 and later model vehicles with substitute engines must meet the intent of the later of the Australian Design Rules applicable to either: a) The original vehicle; or b) The substitute engine. To ensure continued compliance with emission standards, any replacement engine should come from a vehicle which is subject to the same or more stringent emission control requirements. An alternative is for an earlier engine to be upgraded during reconditioning to more recent engine specifications. All anti-pollution devices should be fitted and functional. Vehicles manufactured prior to noise and/or exhaust emissions related ADRs must meet certain minimum noise and emission requirements if the engine modification is to such an extent as to require certification by an (Extract from the NSW Transport Website) CLICK From what I understand, anything that would normally need to be engineered in a post 1972 car, will still need to be done to a pre 1972 car. The difference is they don't have to meet the stricter db and pollution tests associated with the ADR's. Most Transport sites suggest the same thing.
